Dealt!
Designed by Katja Stremmel
A trick-taking game with a twist! In this card game, players must win rounds of the game by playing cards, the winner being the player who plays the highest card in a hand. Players can play pairs or runs as well… but they can’t rearrange their hand of cards! The first player to lose all their chips is the loser, and everyone else wins!

What the Heck?
Designed by Alex Randolph
Players are given an equal deck of bidding cards from one to fifteen. Each turn, a prize tile is randomly selected, worth either positive or negative points. Each player is attempting to gather the most positive points. Players secretly select one of their remaining bidding cards and reveal them simultaneously. For positive prizes, the highest card gets the prize; For negative prizes, the lowest card is stuck with the prize. However, if two people play the highest (or lowest) card, they cancel each other out and the prize goes to the next in line. The highest total score after all fifteen prizes are awarded wins.
